Not sure. As far as I know there has been no official word of order 8's until now, until Channel 10 just announced it. But I doubt the 30,000 were only order 9's. Order 9's are time-limited, order 8's are open-ended.

I will add that Israelis are saying some order 8's have already been given out.

Thanks for the information.

wish I knew more. I will add that Israelis are commenting that order 8's have already been given out, and that this isn't "news". Still I see no press before that announcement about order 8's. That's what everyone waits to see.

This is the latest update from Israel Army Radio (Galei Tzahal) - Google translate w/ corrections:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the army and security officials prepare for the possibility of extending and deepening the operation Pillar of Defense, including a ground operation, as reported by officials in his close circle. Assessing the situation there last night with the Prime Minister, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, and heads of security, the army decided to give full freedom of action as to recruit reservists required for the expansion of the operation.

As of now the army received permission to recruit up to 30,000 soldiers. IDF spokesman, Brigadier General Yoav Yoav Mordechai said that "We are in the process of expanding the system according to the design specified. The Minister of Defense approved the request of the IDF to expand recruitment of 30 thousand reservists.

Israel will stop its offensive action in the Gaza Strip during a three-hour visit by the Egyptian prime minister to the territory on Friday, a senior Israeli government official said.

Egypt's Prime Minister Hisham Kandil prepared to visit the Gaza Strip in an unprecedented display of solidarity with Hamas militants embroiled in a new escalation of conflict with Israel.

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to an Egyptian request to cease all offensive operations in Gaza during the visit of the Egyptian prime minister there this morning, which is supposed to last for about three hours," the official said.

"In the answer that has been forwarded to Egyptians, we've said that the Israel Defense Forces will cease fire on the condition that there won't be fire from Gaza into Israel during that period," the official said.

IDF commanders began Friday morning to brief their troops in advance of a possible ground operation in Gaza. Thousands of reservists have been called up for duty, and a total of at least 16,000 will be summoned for service.

I fell asleep very early last night and apparently missed a lot. I have spent the last hour and a half trying to catch up.

Based on what I have read I feel it is safe to say that even though we here at GLP know more up to date on the ground info than those that get their news from the msm, there are still far more serious things happening than even we are aware of.

It appears to me that Izzy is not only prepared for, but expecting all of her neighbors to join the party. It also looks like "Irene" , with the support of her entourage, has her hair done and is dressed and ready to full on party.

It is currently unclear if our uncle is going to attend or not. A few nephews are currently hanging around to help set up the party favors and let their uncle know if it is worth attending.

Meanwhile, it will not matter much to those of us at home if our uncle and nephews join the party or not. Either way, Irene and her cousins do not like us very much and will look for ways to antagonize us. No matter what, those of us at home will be fighting over what little cash we have, the food in the fridge and who gets to use the car.

So, do I have a basic grasp of things or am I completely off base.
